BSD (Blue Screen of Death) just prior to HD crash (with and OD error(s)) is a sure sign your HD is getting ready to leave the system. Going on the internet will only cause problems if you pick up a Virus.

Knock Knock is a sign of head problems (alignment) try the 200 ways to revive the HD to save the data, still trying to get the name of the program that saved my data (keep forgetting to ask the IS tech that used it).

Hi, does it do this knock when booting? The most common problem for that I have seen is a dying spindle motor,(timing goes off and drive head cant find the begining of the sector)if you put your hand on it and feel it stop spinning, this is probably the problem and time for a new drive.On the other, I know of nothing on the internet that can wreck a hard drive, but I know your BIOS can be reset, you could try going in and doing an autodetect for your HD, but I have doubt's that will help.GLE.D.
